SOME BASE BALL CHAT.
What IS. Lide holme' Says in His Little
Piece.

What 80. Lide holme" Says In His Little
Piece.
Twas talking with a stakeholder Of the
Wheeling base ball club the other day
and he told me that he thought
the Nail City had the winning team. 1t
was a great stroke in getting Buckenberger
70 manage the club-a manager whose
good work is known all over the country,
and whose ability cannot be questioned.
By the way, hear that he has his eye on
a phenomenal young pitcher. Or course
he will be tried in the carly practice
games, and if he holds out ne will be
kept.
hear that Morrison wants his release
80 that be can sign with the Newark, \.
J.. club. / think Wheeling would be
foolish if they let him go without obtain
Ipg good Iound sum for him. When
Morrison came here from Indianapolis he
did not show up very well, bat towards
the eni oI the season ne puzzled the hard-
ess hitters aud suTe,t batters.
-
Speidel is corresponding with the Lima
management with view to playing first
haze for that club. A number cf experts
and admirers of the Wheeling club say
that il was a mistake when they let him
90 last season. One thing Is certain, and
that is, no one who took his place played
better ball than ne did. He tells me that
he is going TO make every first baseman IN
the Ohio League hustle for a record IS
guardian of the first flag, and ! believe he
can do it.
| have heard some people express their
doubts as the ability of Lima to support
club. Don't fret yourself abOnt that, "
said q well-known enthusiast whom /
questioned on the subject. Lima has a
great deal Of wealth, and the men at the
head OF the club have money, and they are
not afraid 10 spend it. :"
-
Sam Barley and jack GlasscOck are
home for the winter. l asked Barley
about the report in the Pttsburg papers as
10 his intention Of spending the winter in
Paris. Sam actually looked serious when
he said, ''Its q fact; did intend to-" He
and Glasscock think that Wheeling is
pennant winner.
-
Jake Stencils fame is wider than most
people think, for Pittsburg was after him,
but got there too late.
=.
Wheeling is fortunate in getting her
team as cheap as she did. Almost every
plsyer was offered more money to go else
where, but they preferred to play in Wheel
ing for various reasons, chief among which
was the certainty of getting what they
earned.
-,
Everything is now in good shape for the
opening Of the SESSION. The grounds will
be considerably improved, and everything
will be done that can add to the comfort
of the patrons Of the game. Wheeling's
reputation as q good ball town must be
widespread, as the managers are flooded
With letters from players from all parts
Of toe eouptry wanting to play here
~
The season opsas tie let of May, and as
q lover of the game says, the blue b!fds
can't come any too Soon"

A Wise Wasp.

The Owl.
While sitting, one summer day, at
the side Of the house on a platform
which served as a piazza, but was
rooted only by the branches of two
large trees, something dropped upon
my head and rolled into my lap,
when | saw a large white bodied
spider in the clutches of a small wasp.
Hastily brushing these unceremoni-
Gus visitors on to the floor, | watched
to see if the wasp would succeed in
flying away with his huge enemy.
After a struggle the spider lay quiet,
and the wasp ran around, Selling
first one part, then another, but final
ly went away, as [ supposed, for
help. In about q quarter of an hour
he returned, still alone, and began
trying again, as / thought, to find
some place by which he could seize
the round body and carry it away.
Again he departed without his spi-
der. This time ! watched him and
saw him disappear at the edge of the
lawn, under a pear tree, and, follow
ing, found him, after some searching
diligently at work with another wasp
enlarging a hole in the ground, hav-
ing already thrown out quite a little
mound of earth. | was surprised, fol-
l did not then know that any kind
of wasp lived in the ground.
| returned to the piazza, and soon
when the wasp came back, l was
convinced, by more careful watching
that he was measuring each part O
the spiders body instead of trying t.
get hold oft. The antemn9 seemed
to be the organs mostly employed il
this operation. When he went home
again, was before him, and saw
him meet his Co-wOrker, put hi

Two Tests of Death.
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
There are many persons haunted
with the fear of being buried alive,
and many believe that such things do
often happen. A celebrated English
M. ID. gives the following test: Have
the room in which the corpse lies
perfectly dark have a bright light
brought and taking the hand Of the
corpse hold it near the light and look
through it. If the hand has the least
pink look like blood there is surely
life, but if the hand has the look OF
clay or grayish look and you cannot
see through it death has taken place.
Another test is to inject a drop OF
ammonia beneath the skin, if death
has taken place it will have no effect.
but if there is life a small red spot
will appear at the place Of injection.
Surely these tests are worth remem
bering.

The Government Mule.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Mexique, living in Alabama, is 60
ing blind and the War Department
has ordered him the attendance of a
veterinary surgeon. Mexique is the
only animal pensioned by the United
States. He has seen many wars and
is even said, by certain hardy spirits,
to have participated in the war of
1912. MeXique is now a white mule,
but he was sorrel when, according to
the records, he entered the service
during the Mexican war. A part of
the army when ON its homeward
march in lS49 left him at Tampa,
Florida. When the civil war broke
out he was still at Tampa, and dur
ing the war he served throughout the
region between that place and Key
West. In 1882 the post at Tampa
was abandoned, and Mexique, about
Christmas time, arrived with Battery
L, Third Artillery, at the barracks,
Mount Vernon, Ala. He was not in
good condition, for, shortly before
leaving Tampa, he got a severe kick
ing from a mare. Soon afterward the
officer in command at Mount Vernon
barracks was ordered to sell all I'M
serviceable draught animals at auc-
ton. This would have included
MeXique. In consideration of the
distinguished services of this mule
the commandant petitioned the
Quartermaster General that MeXique
be allowed to remain in the service,
with full rank and pay, as the officers
Of the post were willing to raise a
fund for that purpose. The petition,
going up through various depart
ments, reached General Sherman,
who, in referring the matter to the
War Department, wrote: 81 have
seen that mule, and whether the
story be true or false, the soldiers be
lieve it was left at Big Spring, where
Mount Vernon Barracks now are, a
the time Gen. Jackson encampeC
there about 1929 to 1880. Tradition
says it was once a sorrel, but now It'll

masters Department will be charge

sold, or the care or maintenance Of i
thrown on the charitable officers o
the post. | advise that it be kept il
the department, fed and maintained
till death. | think the mule was a
Fort Morgan when l was there il
1872" Upon this the Secretary o
War issuedthe following order: "Le
this mule be cared for as long as h
lives" MeXique is now feeble. Ac
cording to General Sherman he i
nearly 70 years old. He has tn
liberty of the reservation and man,
distinguished strangers have cafle'
on him. He is a very lucky mule.

Said a lady who was neither beauti-

have been a subject of public remark /:

conspicuous in them!"
''It never occurs to me that people
in this city have time to notice me-"
replied another.
The latter theory is the most salts
factory it not only saves one from
the annoyance of feeling that she is
an object of disagreeable attention,
but it has the advantage of being
much nearer the truth. A king
may look at a cat, but in this busy
world pussy is usually too much en-
gagged in her daily avocation of mouse
watching to waste her gaze, even on
royalty.
A pretty woman, riding one day in
an omnibus, whispered to her COM

gazing past her with distracted eyes
